1. CARDIAC MRI By Arun-A MRI –Tech dr,.shaji’s mri & medical research center ,kerala

2. Orthogonal Localizers

3. Positioning for 2c scout and 2C scout On the TRA of loc->Slice Vertically on the image (TRA), parallel to the septum & through the apex of left ventricle

4. Positioning for 4C scout and 4C scout On the 2c loc-> Slice through apex of the heart and through the center of the mitral valve

5. Positioning for SA Scout On the 4c loc -> Slice parallel to the plane of heart valves and aproxi at a right angle to the septum On the 2c loc -> Slice should be at a right angle to the long axis

6. SA scout

7. Positioning for True 4c On the SA loc->Slice Vertically on the septum image through the largest expansion of the LT and RT ventricle On the 2C loc->Slice through the mitral Valve & Apex of heart On the 4C loc->Adjust Fov,Position And Inline Rotation

9. Positioning True2c (Lt-vantricular View) On the SA Loc->Slice parallel to the connection line b/w the back and front connection points of Rt ventricle and shift the slice into the center of the left ventricle On the 4c Loc->Turn the slice into apex of the heart On the 2C loc->Adjust Fov,Position And Inline Rotation

11. Positioning SA On the 4c Loc->Slice parallel to the connection line b/w the back and front connection points of Rt ventricle and shift the slice into the center of the left ventricle On the 2c Loc->Slice parallel to mitral valve On the SA loc->Adjust Fov,to avoid phase wrap

13. Positioning 3c On the basal SA loc->Slice aorta and through the center of Lt ventricle as well as the Lt atrium On the 4c loc->Angle through the Rt ventricle is not too Obl and not cutting into the parts of left ventricle
